with the exception of 1-(2-fluoro-4-phenoxyphenoxy)-2-ethylaminocarbonyloxyethane, in each case in free form or in salt form, to a process for the preparation and to the use of these compounds, to pesticides whose active ingredient is selected from these compounds, in free form or in agrochemically utilizable salt form, to a process for the preparation of these compositions, to plant propagation material treated with these compositions, to a method for controlling pests, to intermediates, in free form or in salt form, for the preparation of these compounds and to a process for the preparation of these intermediates.

Certain carbamic acid derivatives are proposed in the literature as active ingredients in pesticides. However, the biological properties of these known compounds are not entirely satisfactory in the field of pest control, which is why there is a demand for providing other compounds which have pesticidal properties, in particular for controlling insects and representatives of the order of the Acarina, this object being achieved according to the invention by providing the present compounds of the formula I.

Compounds of the formula I which have at least one basic centre can form acid addition salts. These are formed, for example, with strong inorganic acids, such as mineral acids, for example perchloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, nitrous acid, a phosphoric acid or a hydrohalic acid, with strong organic carboxylic acids, such as unsubstituted or substituted, for example halogen-substituted, C₁ -C₄ alkanecarboxylic acids, for example acetic acid, such as unsaturated or saturated dicarboxylic acids, for example oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid or phthalic acid, such as hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example ascorbic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid, or such as benzoic acid, or with organic sulfonic acids, such as unsubstituted or substituted, for example halogen-substituted, C₁ -C₄ alkane- or arylsulfonic acids, for example methane- or p-toluenesulfonic acid. Compounds I which have at least one acidic group can form salts with bases. Suitable salts with bases are, for example, metal salts, such as alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium salts, potassium salts or magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or an organic amine, such as morpholin, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower-alkylamine, for example ethyl-, diethyl-, triethyl- or dimethylpropylamine, or a mono-, di- or trihydroxy-lower-alkylamine, for example mono-, di- or triethanolamine. Furthermore, corresponding internal salts can be formed, if appropriate. Preferred salts within the scope of the invention are agrochemically advantageous salts; however, the invention also embraces salts which are disadvantageous for agrochemical purposes, for example salts which are used for the isolation or purification of free compounds of the formula I or agrochemically utilizable salts thereof. The term "compounds of the formula I" hereinabove and hereinafter is thus to be understood as meaning both the free compounds of the formula I and the salts thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, the general terms used hereinabove and hereinbelow are as defined below.

Halogen--as a substituent per se and as structural element of other groups and compounds, such as haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkenyl and haloalkynyl--is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, in particular fluorine, chlorine or bromine, especially fluorine or chlorine.

Carbon-containing groups and compounds contain, unless otherwise defined, in each case 1 up to and including 8, preferably 1 up to and including 4, especially 1 up to and including 3, in particular 1 or 2, carbon atoms.

Cycloalkyl is cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl.

Alkyl--as a group per se and as structural element of other groups and compounds, such as haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy and alkoxyalkyl--is, in each case with due consideration of the number of carbon compounds contained in each individual case in the relevant group or compound, either straight-chain, i.e. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl or octyl, or branched, for example isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, isohexyl or isooctyl.

Alkenyl and alkynyl--as groups per se and as structural elements of other groups and compounds, such as haloalkenyl and haloalkynyl--are straight-chain or branched and contain in each case two or, preferably, one unsaturated carbon-carbon bond(s).

Halogen-substituted carbon-containing groups and compounds, such as haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkenyl and haloalkynyl, can be partially halogenated or perhalogenated, where, in the case of multiple halogenation, the halogen substituents can be identical or different. Examples of haloalkyl--as a group per se and as structural element of other groups and compounds, such as haloalkoxy--are methyl which is mono- to trisubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CHF₂, CHCl₂, CH₂ Cl or CF₃ ; ethyl which is mono- to pentasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CH₂ CH₂ Cl, CH₂ CH₂ F, CHClCH₃, CH₂ CF₃, CF₂ CF₃, CF₂ CCl₃, CF₂ CHCl₂, CF₂ CHF₂, CF₂ CFCl₂, CF₂ CHBr₂, CF₂ CHClF, CF₂ CHBrF or CClFCHClF; propyl or isopropyl, each of which is mono- to heptasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CH₂ CHBrCH₂ Br, CF₂ CHFCF₃, CH₂ CF₂ CF₃, CF₂ CF₂ CF₃ or CH(CF₃)₂ ; and butyl or an isomer thereof, each of which is mono- to nonasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CF(CF₃)CHFCF₃, CF₂ (CF₂)₂ CF₃ or CH₂ (CF₂)₂ CF₃. Examples of haloalkenyl are 1-chloroprop-1-en-3-yl, 2-chloroprop-1-en-3-yl, 2,3-di-chloroprop- 1-en-3-yl, 2,3-dibromoprop-1-en-3-yl, CH₂ CH═CHCH₂ Cl, CH₂ CH═CHCH₂ F and CH₂ CH═CHCHF₂. Examples of haloalkynyl are 2-chloroprop-1-yn-3-yl, 3,3-dichloroprop-1-yn-3-yl, 3,3-di-bromoprop-1-yn-3-yl, 3-chloroprop-1-yn-3-yl, 3-fluoroprop-1-yn-3-yl and 4,4,4-trifluorobut-2-yn-1-yl.

In alkoxyalkyl, an alkyl group which is bonded to the remainder of the compound of the formula I is substituted by an alkoxy group, it being possible for both carbon chains independently of one another to be straight-chain or branched; examples are methoxymethyl, 1- and 2-methoxyethyl, 1- and 2-ethoxyethyl, ethoxymethyl, propoxymethyl, 2-methoxyprop-1-yl and 2-propoxyethyl.

In most cases, however, the addition of an inert solvent or diluent or a mixture of these is advantageous. Examples of such solvents or diluents which may be mentioned are: aromatic, aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons and halohydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, mesitylene, tetralin, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, bromobenzene, petroleum ether, hexane, cyclohexane, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethene or tetrachloroethene; esters, such as ethyl acetate; ethers, such as diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethoxydiethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone; alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethylene glycol or glycerol; amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-diethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone or hexamethylphosphoric triamide; nitriles, such as acetonitrile or propionitrile; and sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide.

If the reaction is carried out in the presence of a tertiary organic base, then bases, such as triethylamine, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine or N,N-diethylaniline, which are employed in excess can also act as solvents or diluents.

The reaction is carried out advantageously in a temperature range from approximately -20° C. to approximately +180° C., preferably from approximately -10° C. to approximately +130° C., in many cases in the range between approximately 0° C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.

In a preferred embodiment of variant b), the process is carried out in the presence of an acylation catalyst, for example a trialkylamine, such as in the presence of triethylamine, and/or a bicyclic organic base, such as in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.21octane, in an ether, such as tetrahydrofuran, and at a temperature between room temperature and 80° C.

Suitable bases for the formation of a compound of the formula VIIa from a compound of the formula ##STR11## which is known or which can be prepared in analogy to corresponding known compounds and in which R₁, R₂, R₃, n and X are as defined in formula I, are, for example, of the type defined in variant a), particularly suitable bases being sodium hydroxide, sodium hydride, sodium amide, sodium methanolate, sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, potassium tert-butanolate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium hydride, lithium diisopropylamide, potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, calcium hydride, particularly preferably sodium methanolate and potassium tert-butanolate. It is also possible to convert a compound of the formula VIIb with a suitable base to give a salt of the formula VIIa and to process this salt in situ to give a compound of the formula I. In this case, the base is preferably employed in excess, but a stoichiometric ratio is also possible.

The reactants can be reacted with each other as such, i.e. without an addition of a solvent or diluent, for example in the melt. In most cases, however, the addition of an inert solvent or diluent or a mixture of these is advantageous. Suitable solvents or diluents are, for example, of the type defined in variant a).

The reaction is carried out advantageously in a temperature range from approximately -20° C. to approximately +180° C., preferably from approximately -10° C. to approximately +130° C., in many cases in the range between approximately 20° C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.

The compounds V, in free form or in salt form, which are employed as educts in variant c) can be prepared in analogy to known processes, for example by reacting a compound of the formula II or a salt thereof with a compound of the formula

    Z═C(L.sub.1)L.sub.2                                    (IX),

which is known or which can be prepared in analogy to corresponding known compounds and in which Z is as defined in formula I and L₁ and L₂ independently of one another in each case are a leaving group, such leaving groups being, for example, of the type defined in variant a) for leaving groups L, the reaction preferably being carded out as described under variant a) for the reaction of a compound of the formula II with a compound of the formula III.

According to variant c), it is also possible to prepare the intermediates V, in free form on in salt form, in situ from the compounds of the formula II and IX and to react them further without isolation, i.e. as a "one-pot process", with a compound of the formula VI or a salt thereof to give the compounds of the formula I.

The compounds of the formula II which are employed as educts for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I in variants a) and b) and as educts for the preparation of the intermediates of the formula V in variant c), with the exception of 2-(2-fluoro-4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethanol, in each case in free form or in salt form, are novel and also provided by the invention. Particularly preferred within the scope of the invention are those compounds of the formula It which are mentioned in Examples H1 and H9.

The invention also provides a process for the preparation of the compounds of the formula II, with the exception of 2-(2-fluoro-4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethanol, in each case in free form or in salt form, which comprises, for example,

e) reacting a compound of the formula (VIIa) or (VIIb), with a compound of the formula ##STR12## which is known or which can be prepared in analogy to corresponding known compounds and in which R₄ and Y are as defined in formula I, preferably in an inert solvent or diluent, for example a solvent or diluent of the type defined in variant b), and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst, for example a tertiary amine, such as in the presence of triethylamine, or

f) to prepare a compound of the formula II in which R₄ is hydrogen and Y is O, or a salt thereof, reacting a compound of the formula (VIIa) or (VIIb) with 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane, preferably in the melt and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst, for example a quaternary ammonium salt, such as in the presence of tetraethylammonium chloride, or

g) to prepare a compound of the formula II in which R₄ is hydrogen and Y is O, or a salt thereof, reacting a compound of the formula ##STR13## which is known or which can be prepared in analogy to corresponding known compounds and in which R₁, R₂, R₃, n and X are as defined in formula I and R₁₄ is C₁ -C₈ alkyl, with a reducing agent, for example with a complex metal hydride, such as lithium aluminium hydride, preferably in an inert solvent or diluent, for example in an ether, such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran,

and/or, if desired, convening a compound of the formula II which can be obtained according to the process or via a different route, in free form or in salt form, into a different compound of the formula II, separating an isomer mixture which can be obtained according to the process and isolating the desired isomer, and/or converting a free compound of the formula II which can be obtained according to the process or via a different route into a salt, or converting a salt of a compound of the formula II which can be obtained according to the process or via a different route into the free compound of the formula II or into a different salt.

A compound of the formula I or II which can be obtained according to the process or via a different route can be converted in a manner known per se into a different compound of the formula I or II by replacing one or more substituents of the starting compound of the formula I or II in the customary manner by (a) different substituent(s) according to the invention.

For example,

in the compounds of the formula I, hydrogen substituents R₅ can be exchanged for alkyl, mercapto, sulfinyl, sulfonyl or carbonyl groups R₅ ;

in the compounds of the formula I, mercapto groups R₅ can be oxidized to sulfinyl or sulfonyl groups R₅ or sulfinyl groups R₅ can be oxidized to sulfonyl groups R₅ ; or

compounds of the formula II in which Y is O can be converted into compounds of the formula II in which Y is S.

Depending on the choice of the reaction conditions and starting materials suitable in each case, it is possible to replace, in one reaction step, only one substituent by a different substituent according to the invention, or a plurality of substituents can be replaced by different substituents according to the invention in the same reaction step.

Salts of compounds of the formula I or II can be prepared in a manner known per se. For example, acid addition salts of compounds of the formula I or II are obtained by treating them with a suitable acid or a suitable ion-exchanger reagent, and salts with bases are obtained by treating them with a suitable base or a suitable ion-exchanger reagent.

Salts of compounds of the formula I or II can be converted in the customary manner into the free compounds of the formula I or II, for example acid addition salts by treating them with a suitable base or a suitable ion-exchanger reagent and salts with bases for example by treating them with a suitable acid or a suitable ion-exchanger reagent.

Salts of compounds of the formula I or II can be converted in a manner known per se to give different salts of compounds of the formula I or II, for example acid addition salts can be converted into different acid addition salts, for example by treating a salt of an inorganic acid, such as a hydrochloride, with a suitable metal salt, such as a sodium salt, barium salt or silver salt, of an acid, for example with silver acetate, in a suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt which forms, for example silver chloride, is insoluble and so precipitates from the reaction mixture.

Depending on the procedure or the reaction conditions, the compounds of the formula I or II which have salt-forming properties can be obtained in free form or in the form of salts.

The compounds of the formula I or II, in free form or in salt form, can be present in the form of one of the isomers which are possible or in the form of a mixture of these, for example, depending on the number, absolute and relative configuration of asymmetric carbon atoms in the molecule and/or depending on the configuration of non-aromatic double bonds which occur in the molecule, in the form of pure isomers, such as antipodes and/or diastereomers, or in the form of isomer mixtures, such as enantiomer mixtures, for example racemates, diastereomer mixtures or racemate mixtures; the invention relates both to the pure isomers and to all isomer mixtures which are possible and is hereinabove and hereinafter in each case to be understood accordingly, even though stereochemical details are not mentioned specifically in each case.

Diastereomer mixtures and racemate mixtures of compounds of the formula I or II, in free form or in salt form, which can be obtained according to the process--depending on the choice of the starting substances and procedures--or via other routes can be resolved on the basis of the physico-chemical differences of the components in a known manner to give the pure diastereomers or racemates, for example by fractional crystallization, distillation and/or chromatography.

Enantiomer mixtures which can be obtained accordingly, such as racemates, can be resolved by known methods to give the optical antipodes, for example by recrystallization from an optically active solvent, by chromatography on chiral adsorbents, for example high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) on acetylcellulose, with the aid of suitable microorganisms, by cleavage with specific, immobilized enzymes, via the formation of inclusion compounds, for example using chiral crown ethers which complex only one enantiomer, or by conversion into diastereomeric salts, for example by reacting a basic end product racemate with an optically active acid, such as a carboxylic acid, for example camphoric acid, tartaric acid or malic acid, or a sulfonic acid, for example camphorsulfonic acid, and resolving the resulting diastereomer mixture, for example by fractional crystallization due to the differing solubilities, to give the diastereomers from which the desired enantiomer can be freed by allowing suitable agents, for example bases, to react on them.

Pure diastereomers and enantiomers can be obtained according to the invention not only by resolving suitable isomer mixtures but also by generally known methods of diastereoselective synthesis and enantioselective synthesis, respectively, for example by carrying out the process according to the invention with educts with the appropriate, suitable stereochemistry.

If the individual components differ with regard to their biological activity, it is advantageous to isolate, or synthesize, in each case the biologically more effective isomer, for example enantiomer or diastereomer, or isomer mixture, for example enantiomer mixture or diastereomer mixture.

The compounds of the formula I and II, in free form or in salt form, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates and/or include other solvents, for example solvents used, if desired, for crystallizing compounds which are in solid form.

The invention relates to all those embodiments of the process in which, starting with a compound which can be obtained in any step of the process is used as starting material intermediate, all or some of the missing steps are carried out, or a starting material in the form of a derivative or salt and/or the racemates or antipodes thereof is used or, in particular, formed under the reaction conditions.

It is preferred to use those starting materials and intermediates, in each case in free form or in salt form, in the process of the present invention which give the compounds of the formula I, or salts thereof, which have been described at the outset as being particularly valuable.

In particular, the invention relates to the preparation processes described in Examples H1 to H8.

The invention also provides starting materials and intermediates, in each case in free form or in salt form, which are novel and used according to the invention for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I or the salts thereof, a process for their preparation, and their use as starting materials and intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I; in particular, this applies to the compounds of the formula II.

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention are valuable as preventive and/or curative active ingredients in the field of pest control, even at low rates of concentration, and have a highly favourable biocidal spectrum while being well tolerated by warm-blooded species, fish and plants. The active ingredients according to the invention are active against all or individual development stages of normally sensitive, but also resistant, animal pests, such as insects and representatives of the order Acarina. The insecticidal and/or acaricidal activity of the active ingredients according to the invention can become apparent, for example, either directly from a destruction of the pests which occurs either immediately or only after some time has elapsed, for example during moulting, or indirectly, for example from reduced oviposition and/or hatching rates, the good activity corresponding to a mortality rate of not less than 50 to 60%.

The active ingredients according to the invention allow pests of the abovementioned type which can be found, in particular, on plants, especially useful plants and ornamentals, in agriculture, horticulture and silviculture, or oil parts of such plants, such as fruits, flowers, foliage, stalks, tubers or roots, to be controlled, i.e. contained or destroyed, and in some cases the protection against these pests extends to parts of plants which are formed at a later point in time.

Target crops which are possible are, in particular, cereals, such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice, maize or sorghum; beet, such as sugar beet or fodder beet; fruit, for example pome fruit, stone fruit and soft fruit, such as apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries or berries, for example strawberries, raspberries or blackberries; leguminous plants, such as beans, lentils, peas or soya beans; oil crops, such as oilseed rape, mustard, poppies, olives, sunflowers, coconuts, castor, cocoa or groundnuts; curcurbits, such as pumpkins, cucumbers or melons; fibre plants, such as cotton, flax, hemp or jute; citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit or tangerines; vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes or bell peppers; Lauraceae, such as avocado, cinnamon or camphor; and tobacco, nuts, coffee, eggplants, sugar cane, tea, pepper, vines, hops, Musaceae, latex plants and ornamentals.

The active ingredients according to the invention are particularly suitable for controlling Adoxophyes reticulana, Cydia pomonella, Heliothis virescens, Lobesia botrane and Nilaparvata lugens in citrus, fruit and rice crops.

Other fields in which the active ingredients according to the invention can be applied are the protection of stored products and stores, the protection of material and, in the hygiene sector, in particular the protection of domestic animals and productive livestock against pests of the abovementioned type.

The invention therefore also relates to pesticides such as emulsifable concentrates, suspension concentrates, ready-to-spray or ready-to-dilute solutions, spreadable pastes, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dispersible powders, dusts, granules or encapsulations in polymeric substances which are to be chosen depending on the intended aims and the prevailing circumstances and comprise--at least--one of the active ingredients according to the invention.

In these compositions, the active ingredient is employed as pure active ingredient, for example a solid active ingredient in a specific particle size or, preferably, together with--at least--one of the auxiliaries conventionally used in the art of formulation, such as extenders, for example solvents or solid carriers, or such as surface-active compounds (surfactants).

The following are examples of suitable solvents: partially hydrogenated or unhydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions C₈ to C₁₂ of alkylbenzenes, such as xylene mixtures, alkylated naphthalenes or tetrahydronaphthalene, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such as paraffins or cyclohexane, alcohols, such as ethanol, propanol or butanol, glycols and their ethers and esters, such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol ether, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ketones, such as cyclohexanone, isophorone or diacetone alcohol, strongly polar solvents, such as N-methylpyrrolid-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide, or water, epoxidized and unexpoxidized vegetable oils, such as epoxidized and unexpoxidized rapeseed off, castor oil, coconut oil or soya oil, and silicone oils.

Solid carriers which are used, for example, for dusts and dispersible powders are, as a rule, natural ground minerals, such as calcite, talc, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. To improve the physical properties, it is also possible to add highly-disperse silicas or highly-disperse absorptive polymers. Possible particulate, adsorptive carriers for granules are either porous types, for example pumice, brick grit, sepiolite or bentonite, or non-sorptive carrier materials, for example calcite or sand. Moreover, a large number of granulated materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used in particular dolomite or comminuted plant residues.

Suitable surface-active compounds are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants or surfactant mixtures which have good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties, depending on the nature of the active ingredient to be formulated. The surfactants listed hereinbelow are only to be regarded as examples; a large number of other surfactants conventionally used in the art of formulation and suitable according to the invention are described in the specialist literature.

Suitable non-ionic surfactants are mainly polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, which can have 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon radical and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical of the alkylphenols. Other suitable non-ionic surfactants are water-soluble polyethylene oxide adducts with polypropylene glycol, ethylene diaminopolypropylene glycol and alkyl polypropylene glycol which have 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. The abovementioned compounds customarily have 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit. Examples which may be mentioned are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Other substances which are suitable are fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate.

The cationic surfactants are mainly quaternary ammonium salts which have, as substituents, at least one alkyl radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms and, as further substituents, lower, halogenated or unhalogenated alkyl, benzyl or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates. Examples are stearyltrimethylammonium chloride and benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.

Suitable anionic surfactants can be either water-soluble soaps or water-soluble, synthetic surface-active compounds. Soaps which are suitable are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts and substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C₁₀ -C₂₂), such as the sodium salts or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural mixtures of fatty acids which can be obtained from, for example, coconut oil or tall oil; the fatty acid methyltaurinates must also be mentioned. However, synthetic surfactants are used more frequently, in particular fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates. The fatty sulfonates and fatty sulfates are, as a rule, in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts and have, as a rule, an alkyl radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, alkyl also including the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, for example the sodium salt or calcium salt of ligninsulfonic acid, of the dodecylsulfuric ester or of a fatty alcohol sulfate mixture prepared from natural fatty acids. This group also includes the salts of the sulfuric esters and sulfonic acids of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives have preferably 2 sulfonyl groups and a fatty acid radical having approximately 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Alkylarylsulfonates are, for example, the sodium salts, calcium salts or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Suitable phosphates, such as salts of the phosphoric ester of a p-nonylphenol/(4-14)ethylene oxide adduct, or phospholipids, are also suitable.

As a rule, the compositions comprise 0.1 to 99%, in particular 0.1 to 95%, of active ingredient and 1 to 99.9%, in particular 5 to 99.9%, of--at least--one solid or liquid auxiliary, it being possible, as a rule, for 0 to 25%, in particular 0.1 to 20%, of the compositions to be surfactants (% in each case meaning per cent by weight). While concentrated compositions are more preferred as commercially available goods, the end consumer uses, as a rule, dilute compositions with considerably lower concentrations of active ingredients. Preferred compositions are, in particular, composed as follows (%=per cent by weight):

The activity of the compositions according to the invention can be widened considerably and adapted to prevailing circumstances by adding other insecticidal and/or acaricidal active ingredients. Representatives of the following active ingredient classes are examples of suitable additions of active ingredients: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives, formamidines, ureas, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations. The compositions according to the invention can also comprise other solid or liquid auxiliaries such as stabilizers, for example epoxidized or unepoxidized vegetable oils (for example epoxidized coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and/or tackifiers, and also fertilizers or other active ingredients for achieving specific effects, for example bactericides, fungicides, nematicides, molluscicides or selective herbicides;

The compositions according to the invention are prepared in a known manner, in the absence of auxiliaries, for example, by grinding, screening and/or compressing of a solid active ingredient or active ingredient mixture, for example to give a certain particle size, and in the presence of at least one auxiliary, for example, by intimately mixing and/or grinding the active ingredient or active ingredient mixture with the auxiliary or auxiliaries. The invention also provides these processes for the preparation of the compositions according to the invention and the use of the compounds of the formula I for the preparation of these compositions.

The invention also provides the methods of application for the compositions, i.e. the methods for controlling pests of the abovementioned type, such as spraying, atomizing, dusting, painting on, seed-dressing, scattering or pouring, depending on the intended aims and the prevailing circumstances, and the use of the compositions for controlling pests of the abovementioned type. Typical rates of application are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient. The rates of application per hectare are, as a rule, 1 to 2000 g of active ingredient per hectare, in particular 10 to 1000 g/ha, preferably 20 to 600 g/ha.

A preferred method of application in the field of crop protection is application to the foliage of the plants (foliar application), where frequency and rate of application will depend on the risk of infestation with the pest in question. However, the active ingredient can also reach the plants via the root system (systemic action) by drenching the locus of the plants with a liquid composition or incorporating the active ingredient into the locus of the plants, for example into the soil, in solid form, for example in the form of granules (soil application). In crops of paddy rice, such granules can be metered into the flooded paddy field.

The compositions according to the invention are also suitable for protecting plant propagation material, for example seed, such as fruits, tubers or kernels, or plant cuttings, against animal pests. The propagation material can be treated with the composition before planting, for example seed can be dressed before sowing. The active ingredients according to the invention can also be applied to seed kernels (coating) either by soaking the kernels in a liquid composition or by applying a layer of a solid composition. The composition can also be applied to the site of application when the propagation material is planted, for example when it is sown into the seed furrow. The invention also provides these treatment methods for plant propagation material and the plant propagation material which has been treated in this manner.

The examples which follow are intended to illustrate the invention. They do not impose any limitation. Temperatures are given in degrees centigrade, mixing ratios of solvents in parts by volume.

Example H9: The other compounds listed in Tables 1 to 14 can also be prepared as described in Examples H1 to H8. In Tables 7, 8, 9, 13 and 14, each line discloses exactly one compound of a particular constitution. In contrast, in Tables 1 to 6 and 10 to 12, each individual line discloses not only one single compound of a particular constitution. Rather, in the column "Compounds" of these tables, the term "1-2", "1-7" and "1-26", which in each line occupies the space after the second dot in this column, is used to denote, by means of the number which follows the hyphen, how many compounds of different constitution are disclosed by the line in question. Accordingly, the term "1-2" is used to denote that the line in question discloses two individual compounds of different constitution. For example, the line in Table 5 which starts "5.1.1-2" discloses the two; compounds 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, which differ from each other with regard to their constitution, while the term "4.2.1-7" denotes the seven compounds 4.2.1,4.2.2 ..... 4.2.6 and 4.2.7, all of which differ from each other with regard to their constitution, and the term "1.8.1-26" denotes the 26 compounds 1.8.1, 1.8.2 . . . , 1.8.25 and 1.8.26, all of which differ from each other with regard to their constitution. Each of the individual compounds disclosed in the line in question differ from each other with regard to their constitution only in such a way that in each of them the variable (R₁)_(n) has a different meaning. Each number in the term "1-2" (1 to 2), i.e. 1 and 2, each number in the term "1-7" (1 to 7), i.e. 1,2, . . . , 6 and 7, and each number in the term "1- 26" (1 to 26), i.e. 1, 2, . . . , 25 meaning of (R₁)_(n) which is the same in all lines of all Tables 1 to 6 and 9 to 11, namely 1 in the case of (R₁)₀, 2 in 4-chloro, 3 in 3-fluoro, 4 in 4-fluoro, 5 in 3,5-difluoro, 6 in 3-chloro, 7 in 3,4-dichloro, 8 in 2-fluoro, 9 in 3,5-dichloro, 10 in 3-chloro-4-fluoro, 11 in 2,4-difluoro, 12 in 4-bromo-2-fluoro, 13 in 4-bromo, 14 in 3-methyl, 15 in 4-methyl, 16 in 3-ethyl, 17 in 4-ethyl, 18 in 4-cyano, 19 in 3-trifluoromethyl, 20 in 3,5-dimethyl, 21 in 4-trifluoromethyl, 22 in 3-methoxy, 23 in 4-methoxy, 24 in 3,4-methylenedioxy, 25 in 3-trifluoromethoxy and 26 in 4-trifluoromethoxy. Thus, a particular choice of the number after the second dot in the column "Compounds" in conjunction with the meanings of the remaining variables given in the line in question results in an unequivocal allocation of a certain compound number to one single compound whose constitution is defined and where all variables including (R₁)_(n) have a particular meaning. For example, the compound 3.78.23 is the compound of the formula I in which R₁ is 4-methoxy, R₂ is hydrogen, R₃ is chlorine, R₄ is hydrogen, R₅ is COCON(C₄ H₉)₂, R₆ is ethyl, n is 1, X is methylene, Y is O and Z is 0, and the compound 12.14.2 is the compound of the formula II in which R_(l) is 4-chloro, R₂ is 5-methyl, R₃ is methyl, R₄ is hydrogen, n is 1, X is C(═O) and Y is O. The temperatures given in the column "Physical data" of Table 14 denote in each case the melting point of the compound in question, and "n_(D) ^(T) " is the refractive index of the compound in question at a temperature of T° C.
